Wolfowitz should not have gone to Iraq
he should have known that he would be a target, and that everywhere he traveled would be very dangerous for anybody accompanying him. Now 15 people are wounded and an Army Colonel is dead because Wolfowitz wanted to go on a junket to Iraq for a photo op.

1. Yes he wanted to do a PR campaign to show how good it is
but I just saw him on the news saying this was people who are sorry Iraq was liberated :eyes:

(people with bad aim)

2. wolfo looked really drained and in shock....these chickenhawks
don't know what to do when the missiles hit....he looked horrible...he read remarks on MSNBC and almost seemed to choke on his own hypocrisy....

the FRONT page of the Washington Post today (all above the fold)...photo of Black Hawk down burning with a big cloud of black smoke, DC Protestors photo underneath that...story on right titled "Civilian Convey Attacked in Iraq" and on the left "Search in Iraq fails to find nuclear threat."

11. view front page of Washington Post...things look bad for shrub....
the 'fold' starts right below the DC protestors photo....it's great because there are thousands of people here in DC for events this weekend...including a marathon race, a walk for diabetes, and of course, the DC March to BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW !!!! this 'above the fold' will be prominently displayed in newstands everywhere....

4. Wolfowitz should be required to
stay in Iraq until this is resolved. See the carnage, see the hatred, see the mess he and his merry band of war mongers created.

This Chickenhawk needs to see war up close and personal. Maybe he won't be so damn glib with his "Happy Talk."

6. Actually, he should have been one floor lower...
That was the only mistake.

Before I hear how mean I am, I believe firmly in reaping what you sow. That goes for war criminals, too.

7. CUT to dingy gray room - Ashcroft puts down Bible and belches

ASHCROFT: "Duly noted, citizen."



seeing Wolfy scared shitless was delicious enough, almost as good as his heckling at that New Yorker thing.

And the delicious bon bon on my DC day!

8. He lives in a fantasy world
Today was his wakeup call.

I don't understand why people are surprised when something like this happens.

Damn these people. I wouldn't give Wolfowitz a stick to wipe the shit off his leg.

13. a "shaken" wolfie
la times article said they struck the area of the hotel "very close" to wolfies. i wondered how close?

imagine that..
your sitting there thinking how powerful you are..
how invincible.
and suddenly the room next door explodes and your jammies are all wet.
and then the security ppl are carrying you outside in your wet jammies, while your crying all the way.

thats pretty much the way it went down, im very sure of it.

9. Of course I'm gald Wolfowitz is OK
I don't want anybody to be killed in Iraq (though I would not shed a tear if Saddam Hussein was killed), but hopefully now Mr. Wolfowitz, who has no military service and no combat experience, will learn the lesson of the horrors of war that he has inflicted on so many Arabs, Americans and their families.

14. Wolfowitz should not have gone to Washington.
If he wants to conquer the world, he should buy his own damn army with his own damn money. However, he's chosen not to put down the crack pipe, so here we are, one foot in the Apocalypse.
